I know a good challenge can bring out the best in most of us, so here is mine to all you turners out there.
Try to turn some eggs.........
Don't bother with sanding, or finish, just turn something that looks like an egg.
I know the more experienced guys will be able to do this with little effort, but some of the new guys, or us with limited spindle work skills will have to work a little harder at it.
here is my collection since Sunday.........
You can see my evolution, I'm getting better, but they still need work.
I'm using a Bedan to do this, and I'm learning a great deal, does not take very long, and the wood I'm using are scraps. I do not worry about the ends being perfect, the form is more important to me, and the practice, so, if you are up for it, "Get Cracking"
Cheers!
